Interesting fact

The Kopeck coin with the name of Peter I and Ivan V (ND 1682-1696) from the Russian Empire was made of silver, which was a significant change from the previous copper coins that were used in Russia. This change in material was done to combat inflation and to increase the value of the currency. The use of silver in coins was a common practice in Europe at the time, and it helped to stabilize the Russian economy.
